The UI is a web client for the Monocular API, which exposes an easy way to navigate and search Helm Charts.

Features of the UI includes:

• Listing of available charts from multiple repositories.
• Search charts by name, keywords, maintainer, etc.
• View chart information, e.g. installation notes, usage, versions.
• Install charts in the cluster
• Add and manage indexed chart repositories

Monocular UI requires a running instance of the Monocular backend.

The easiest way to have a running multi-tier development environment is to use the the docker-compose.yml file placed at the project root directory.

Refer to the Developer Guide for more details.

The web application is based on the components listed below.

• Angular 2
• angular/cli
• Typescript
• Sass
• Webpack
• Bootstrap

Makefile provides a convenience for building locally:

• make compile-aot

The resulting compiled static Angular application will be placed inside rootfs/dist, which is coincidentally where rootfs/Dockerfile expects to find it.

To build a docker image locally:

• make docker-build

The image will be tagged as bitnami/monocular-ui:latest by default. Set IMAGE_REPO and IMAGE_TAG to override this.

See below a representation of the implemented Angular components tree.
